Bass Ponds Completed.
Work has practically been com
pleted on the bass ponds in Gov-

ed in the spring. As soon as the
hatching season is over the build
ing on Lake Minnechaduza will be
removed to the new site and en
larged , and a cottage and barn will

Eugene Grace & Son , on Wednes
day by the contractors , The Red
Front Hardware Co. Steam was
turned into the thirty-five radia

Two pounds of steam will heat the
entire building in twenty minutes.

Land Office Notes.
In the case of Jane Connor vs.
Harry L. Ayeis of Merriman , the
general land office has remanded
the case for the submission of evi
dence by the defendant.
During the month of November
the local office allowed forty-six
homestead entries , forty-seven fi
nal proofs , and held two public
sales. It is expected that there
will not be much homesteading
during the winter , and very few
final proofs.
Under the act of August 19 ,
1911 , it appears that persons whose
entries on that date were" still less
than six months old , will have un
til April 15th next in which to es-
'tablish residence. Such persons
should bear in mind , however ,
that they will receive no credit
for residence until they actually
begin to live upon the land , and
that when making final , proof five
full years of actual residence must
be shown.
The general land office has al
lowed a large number of applica
tions for the sale of isolated tracts ,
about one hundred and fifty tracts
having been ordered sold. No
tices have already been issued in
some wases , but others will not be
issued for some time , as this num
ber of sales cannot well be taken
care of in a short time. The cases
will be taken up and notices is
sued in the order in which the ap
plications were first filed in this
office. The notices are now sent
directly to the applicant , who is
obliged to attend personally to the
pfttjlicatioh of the notice , and to
see that on the day of sale the
affidavit of the publisher showing
proper publication of the notice
is filed in this office. Without
such affidavit the sale cannot be
leld.
